Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2x 9oz/250g Chicken Breasts, brought close to room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Rice Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups Cooked Rice
  • 2 tbsp finely diced Fresh Coriander/Cilantro (or to taste)
  • 1/2 Lime, juice only (or to taste)

Burrito Assembly

  • 4 Burrito Sized Tortilla Wraps, warmed
  • 1 1/2 cups / 150g Cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup / 120ml Ranch Dressing (plus more to serve)
  • 2 medium Avocados, diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: In a small bowl, combine the cooked rice with finely diced coriander/cilantro and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning as preferred. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Prep the Chicken: Butterfly the chicken breasts through the center to create four even-sized pieces. Coat each piece evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and olive oil to ensure flavorful and moist chicken.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken pieces until lightly charred on both sides and fully cooked through (center white). Remove from heat, let rest briefly, then dice into small cubes.
  4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a warmed tortilla wrap flat. In the bottom center, spread a few tablespoons of the lime and cilantro rice, top with a quarter of the diced chicken, followed by a couple of tablespoons of ranch dressing. Add diced avocado on top and sprinkle generously with grated cheese, reserving a pinch for sealing.
  5. Fold the Burrito: Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in both sides tightly. Roll the burrito tightly to enclose the filling completely. When about one inch remains, sprinkle the reserved cheese to help seal the seam when cooking.
  6. Cook the Burritos: Heat a dry griddle or frying pan to a scorching hot temperature. Place each burrito seam side down on the pan, slowly rotating with tongs until grill marks form and the tortilla is crispy and hollow when tapped. Repeat for all burritos.

Notes

  • For the best rice texture, use fluffy cooked white or brown rice that has cooled slightly before mixing.
  • Use a griddle pan or non-stick frying pan to ensure even cooking and easy flipping of the chicken and burritos.
  • Adjust the amount of lime juice and coriander in the rice to your taste preference for freshness and tang.
  • Choose a cheese that melts well such as Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or a Mexican blend.
  • Warming tortillas before assembly helps prevent cracking and makes them more pliable for folding.
  • Serve extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping if desired.
